My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 139: Come on, let’s kill the bugs, .

Lin Tang looked at Li’s mother with serious eyes.

Her tone was not quite convinced.

"No longer saving food?"

Li Xiuli: "...No saving."

She was secretly grinding her teeth.

Lin Tang’s face broke into a smile, "Then what about the malt extract, apples, oranges, and other food at home?"

She dared to say that if she didn’t remind her mother, those fruits would end up wilting away.

Li Xiuli, unable to withstand the pressure, said in a deep voice: "We’re not saving anything!"

Lin Tang’s smile brightened.

She reached out and gently cupped Choudan’s skinny little cheeks as if measuring them.

Then she turned her face to look at Li’s mother.

"Mother, I remember the size of Choudan’s face now.

If I come back next time and Choudan’s face has gotten thinner again, I will definitely be unhappy."

Her words were a bit exaggerated.

But Lin Tang was worried that unless she spoke harshly, her mother wouldn’t listen.

After all, those were the years when everyone was driven mad by poverty.

As the one in charge of cooking, Mother was under no small amount of pressure.

She was long accustomed to saving wherever possible.

Li Xiuli certainly understood her daughter’s meaning.

She helplessly tapped on Lin Tang’s forehead.

"You ah!"

"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you, I promise not to let your nephews and nieces go hungry."

Lin Tang laughed cheerfully.

"I know Mother loves her grandchildren too."

It was just that she felt like the whole family was taking advantage of her, feeling sorry for her.

But feelings are mutual and shared.

If her family cared for her, she cared for them too.

Just then, the whistle for work sounded from outside.

The Lin Family menfolk, having tidied up the pigsty in the backyard, came out one after another.

They had just reached the front courtyard when Zhou Mei leisurely emerged from inside the house.

Her eyes were barely open; she looked groggy and half-asleep.

Today’s nap had been late, and she hadn’t slept well.

Li Xiuli’s mouth twitched when she saw her second daughter-in-law’s drowsy appearance.

Typical Zhou Mei!

Lazy and gluttonous...

"Nobody delay, hurry up and take your things to the fields," Li Xiuli said.

After speaking, she turned her head to look at Lin Tang.

"Tangtang, just stay home, don’t think about going to the field to earn work points. When you’re home, read a book or something.

If you’re bored, let Goudan take you around the village..."

Her expression brooked no refusal.

Lin Lu added, "Your mother is right! You’re back for a short visit, so just stay home and look after Goudan and the others."

"We can handle the work in the fields; there’s no need for you to suffer.

Our family doesn’t lack the work points, just rest properly for a few days."

He had already learned about the three-day break from the factory.

Lin Qingshan and his brothers also urged her a few times.

They had supported their sister’s schooling, her university education, so that the family’s young lady would not endure their hardships.

Now that their sister had finally become a worker,

The brothers wished with all their hearts that Lin Tang would never work in the fields or suffer again in her life.

How could they possibly let her work in the fields?

Lin Tang felt warmth in her heart and offered a soft smile.

"Then I’ll just laze around at home; I’ll teach Goudan and the others to do some writing and drawing. You all work hard, Father, Mother, brothers, and sisters-in-law."

Lin Lu waved it off, "It’s nothing! We all got through it the same way."

Earning work points didn’t bother him in the least with his son,

But just one day in the field would make his heart ache for his daughter.

After speaking, Lin Lu and Li Xiuli left for the fields with their sons and daughters-in-law.

Lin Tang and Goudan watched their family members leave.

The cousins sat in the courtyard.

"What do you want to do?" Lin Tang asked.

Holding the comic books she gave him, Goudan said excitedly, "I want to read."

This book has pictures in it.

It’s so interesting.

It’s not like those books at home that only have words, which he couldn’t understand at all.

Lin Tang nodded and asked Choudan and Hutou, "What about you two?" freewebnσvel.cѳm

Hutou said, "I want to read too."

They were now more than mildly interested in comic books.

So interested that they could forgo meals and lose sleep over them.

Choudan answered softly, "I want to draw."

Grasping colored pencils, he seemed to really enjoy it.

Seeing that her nephews all had plans, Lin Tang said, "Okay then, let’s look at them together."

"I’ll go get a book too."

With that, she went back into the house.

The curtains inside were drawn, making the room a bit dark.

Niuniu was nestled in bed, sleeping soundly.

The little girl was curled up in a ball, her little butt sticking up, her belly rising and falling rhythmically, looking just like a little kitten.

Lin Tang saw that she had kicked her blanket to the foot of the bed.

She went over to cover her niece properly.

After picking up a book, Lin Tang tiptoed back out to the courtyard.

The three little ones were either reading or drawing, completely ignoring her.

Lin Tang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Without drawing attention to herself, she sat down in the courtyard and began to read as well.

About half an hour later, Niuniu came out rubbing her eyes.

"Auntie!"

The moment Lin Tang saw Niuniu, she put down the book and walked over to pick her up.

"Did you sleep well?" Her little niece was so well-behaved, not crying or fussing after waking up.

Niuniu was still a bit sleepy.

She nuzzled her face against her aunt’s neck, yawned, and her voice was soft and milky.

"All full!"

"All full, then let’s wash your face first."

After washing her face, Niuniu was completely awake.

Seeing her brothers engrossed in something, she scurried over.

"Big brother, second brother, what are you looking at?" She leaned in, her face full of curiosity.

Goudan was just at a thrilling part of his book when he was suddenly interrupted and couldn’t help feeling a bit unhappy.

Turning his head, he met Niuniu’s bright eyes, and all his irritation dissipated.

"...I’m looking at comic books."

Niuniu eagerly looked at him, "Is it interesting?"

Goudan made an affirming noise, "Interesting!"

He had never seen such interesting books before.

They were even better than the stories his mother told.

Niuniu scratched her head and said, "I want to look too."

Lin Tang saw her little niece scratching her head and suddenly remembered what her mother had said about lice.

She shivered all over.

Every pore in her body felt uncomfortable.

She went back to her room, grabbed a bottle of lice spray, and came out again.

"...Stop for a moment, I’m going to spray some insecticide on you."

Goudan touched his own smooth head, "Grandma had someone shave our heads, so now we don’t have bugs anymore."

The thought of being bald made Niuniu want to cry.

But then she looked at the little pom-pom on her hat and managed to hold back.

"...I don’t have bugs either~"

Lin Tang, of course, knew that they were currently bug-free.

But the mere thought that they had had them made her skin crawl.

So, they must still be sprayed!

"Hurry over, let me spray you so you won’t get bugs in the future. You don’t want to shave your heads again, do you?"

It’s not like other kids in the village didn’t have lice.

Go out to play, and without paying attention, you could get infested.

Those things breed fast.

Ugh...

Goosebumps came back.

Hearing about shaving her head again, Niuniu quickly moved closer to Lin Tang.

"I don’t want to be bald, Auntie help Niuniu," the little girl whined endearingly.

Lin Tang rubbed her niece’s face and then used the spray bottle to spritz a circle around her.

This bottle had been obtained from the system, and the insecticide inside was made by herself.

It was colorless and odorless.

Yet it was the nemesis of all sorts of bugs.
